I took some pictures last month at my brothers wedding. My brother and sister-in-law got married after being together for the past 10 years. It was a day they chose to spend with their family and some close friends. It turned out to be an amazing day! This week they are expecting the arrival of their first child. So the family has an exciting week ahead. We are all hoping and wishing for the best and the arrival of a healthy bundle of joy.

The kit used is: The Renew Kit.



I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with for this months challenge.

Happy Scrappin'!

Fancy Me??

I have a new kit in the ScrappyThoughts Store and figured I'd have a little blog challenge because of it!!

First I'll show you what my new kit looks like. It is a complete kit with loads of papers, elements and even a full alpha!!

Now for the challenge.

We are going to do a 10 Hints Challenge. I made a layout which is still wrapped up.

I am going to give you 10 hints on what my layout looks like and then it is up to you to make your layout using these hints.

The hints are :

- I used 2 patterned papers

- I used 1 picture, the size of the picture itself is 4 inches horizontal, 6 inches vertical

- The picture is in a frame and on the left a bit below the center

- I used 7 elements of which 3 are underneath the picture

- 2 elements are in the lower right area

- There is a littlebit of journaling, but really not that much

- One of the elements is a ribbon, a second one is stitching

- 1 paper is no more then half the size of the layout

- There are no doodles or brushes

- And I haven't used any blending

The person that comes closest to my layout wins my complete "Fancy Me Kit"!!!

Everybody else will be getting the full alpha for joining in.

Sound good??

After your layout is finish send me a link to your layout and provide me with an e-mail address so I can contact you with details for getting my kit in case you win or the alpha. Please make sure you submit your layouts by September 15th.

Save one of your pictures!

Since I do love a good challenge I had to join in with the "Save a Picture Challenge" over at http://www.digiscrap.nl/.

The challenge was to scrap a layout with a picture that you normally wouldn't have used.

I had this one picture sitting around from Ryan where he was just climbing out of the pool. The water was so cold that he had the tightest little look on his face.

So here is the picture........

And here is the layout it turned into........

Thank you for this fun challenge Anita!

Now all you guys make sure you head over and have a go, the challenge prize you do not want to miss out on. ;)

Who doesn't love a good challenge!

Over at www.digiscrap.nl Fryske is hosting a really fun template challenge this month. I just had to have a go at this one and this is how my layout turned out.

Thank you Fryske for a fantastic template and a great challenge!!
